Sounds like a mouse to me, but you would think if the cats had access to basement - then they should probably be able to take care of it (them). If you can find them anywhere - get a brand of mouse trap called 'snap-e-trap' - have two of them from Home Depot and they have killed about 30 mice between them in two years. They are great - the best part is they are easy to set and easy to get the mouse out to use again. There is a reservoir cup to put the bait in (peanut butter and some oats) and when set there is a trap door that rises up - they step on the raised false floor to get at the cup of bait and BAM - dead mouse.
